		<p>
			A flat homeoscope consists of two tables, one above the other.
		</p>
		<p>
			The upper table (A) helps to enter the search criteria. In this case the vertical
			columns correspond to the names of the search attributes and the lines show the
			attributes themselves. Therefore, a corresponding search attribute may be selected
			by inserting a dowel into a hole. For instance, the columns may represent parts
			of body, whereas the lines will show the possible pathologies of the corresponding
			organs.
		</p>
		<p>
			Similarly, the lower table (B) determines the essence, which can be found by criteria
			in the upper table. The holes where the lines and the columns cross show the range
			of meanings which determine the essence. For example, the lower table can correspond
			to a medicine which suits to cure the disease most, which is determined by a range
			of pathologies of different organs.
		</p>
		<p>
			By indicating the search attributes in the upper table, we place it on the lower
			one. The dowels, under which the holes are situated, will fall. This means that
			the criterion and the essence it is compared coincide. Thus one can gradually place
			lower tables until the most suitable essence is found. A relative importance degree
			of critea can be shown by using dowel with caps of various diameters. For instance,
			these can be made of different colours and diameter according to the importance
			of the criterion.
		</p>
		<p>
			It is easy to notice that the method of a multicriterion search used in a flat homeoscope
			is universal and almost hasn’t changed up to this date. For example, in modern Internet
			tools we select goods and services according to their characteristics in a similar
			way by choosing the necessary criteria from a list.

			selecting the set of signs, press “Compare” and the tables will start to move and
			will be placed one on the other.
